Book Description

Manure spreaders are modified single- and dual-axle trailers designed to apply manure and other organic solids to the soil. They are widely used for agriculture and reclamation where soils need more intensive renovation than can be provided by single tillage and inorganic amendments. Management objectives for using manure spreaders are stated, and applications to habitat development projects are discussed. The design and assembly of equipment are described and illustrated, and general specifications are provided. Methods of operation are described, and maintenance and safety requirements are given. Appropriate cautions and limitations are discussed.

Book Description

A plant materials report on doveweeds (Croton spp.) is provided as Section 7.4.2 of the US Army Corps of Engineers Wildlife Resources Management Manual. The report was prepared as a guide to assist the Corps District or project biologists in the selection, cultivation, and management of suitable plant materials for wildlife and habitat development programs. Major topics covered include description, distribution, habitat requirements, wildlife value, establishment, and maintenance. The crotons, commonly referred to as doveweeds, include several species known to be important food plants for upland game birds. Diagnostic features of the genus Croton are described, and growth and habitat characteristics are given for six species that are of value to wildlife. Regional and seasonal variation in use by wildlife is described, with emphasis on use by the mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) and northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus). Guidelines are provided for establishing, cultivating, and maintaining stands of doveweeds on project lands.

Book Description

A report on chufa (Cyperus esculentus) is provided as Section 7.4.1 of the US Army Corps of Engineers Wildlife Resources Management Manual. The report was prepared as a guide to assist the Corps District or project biologist who may wish to establish chufa plots for wildlife on project lands. Major topics include plant description, distribution, habitat requirements, wildlife value, establishment, and maintenance. Chufa is an introduced sedge used primarily for wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) and waterfowl management in the Southeast. A description of the sedge and its naturalized range is given in this report. Soil, moisture, and shade requirements are specified, and the value of chufa as a wildlife food is discussed. The establishment of chufa for wild turkey and for waterfowl is described under separate headings. The method outlined for establishing upland stands includes site selection and preparation, plot design, planting instructions, and plot maintenance. Guidelines are given for establishing chufa for waterfowl by enhancing natural stands through proper management of water levels. Cautions and limitations of growing chufa are also pointed out.
